Hunting, conservation groups back cuts in big-game licenses to help herds recover

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 15:11:10 GMT

A coalition of hunters, wildlife advocates and conservationists supports substantial cuts in the number of big-game hunting licenses proposed for northwest Colorado and believes even deeper reductions might be needed to help herds recover from the region’s severe winter.Reductions of more than 60% in licenses for some species in certain areas were on the table as the Colorado Wildlife Commission met Wednesday in Glenwood Springs.Deep snows and harsh conditions caused deer, elk, pronghorns and other animals to migrate out of northwest Colorado this winter. State wildlife officials have said many animals starved to death or died when struck by vehicles while foraging for food along roads, Colorado Parks and Wildlife managers have said.In January, a semitrailer driving east on U.S. 40 near Dinosaur plowed through a group of 35 pronghorns, CPW said. A herd of 19 pronghorns was hit by a pickup a few days later near Craig.Eleven groups in the Colorado Wildlife Conservation Project w...

How Aaron’s War by Richard McMaster Highlights the Impact of War on Soldiers

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 15:11:10 GMT

Wars are gruesome, deadly, and horrifying despite movies glorifying soldiers killing enemies under the perception of patriotism or heroism. Wars have far-reaching physical and psychological implications for soldiers and their families, typically not depicted in movies or shows. Hollywood usually depicts wars as a means of national unity, bonding among soldiers, and soldiers’ heroism in defending their country or national spirit. Many books about war also glorify soldiers or their unique relationships with their peers, friends, and loved ones. However, Hollywood does not show war’s gruesome consequences, leaving thousands of soldiers crippled or dead. Popular media does not show how war instills lifelong psychological implications in survivors in the form of depression, PTSD, and other disorders. Aaron’s War by Richard McMaster is a unique book offering an entirely different perspective by highlighting the adverse implications of the war on soldiers.Thousands of books portray WWII ci...

James Tzitzon – Bringing the History of the Registry of Motor Vehicle Inspector to Life

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 15:11:10 GMT

History revolves around studying and documenting human activities to prepare records for current and future generations to increase their knowledge and learn about events and facts. Learning history is essential for understanding how particular events, circumstances, and processes shaped attitudes, behavior, relationships, and socioeconomic patterns. History also informs people about forgotten events, individuals, and organizations and their role in shaping society or particular processes and systems. Some people find history books tedious and monotonous due to the excessive text and facts on a specific incident or individual. However, many history books are necessarily tedious and exhaustive because they integrate multiple elements to portray information about organizations or events. Take James Tzitzon’s the History of the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicle Inspector: Never Forget, which incorporates pictures, stories from inspectors, and personal accounts to explain historic...

Santa Clara Councilmember Anthony Becker pleads not guilty to 49ers report leak

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 15:11:10 GMT

Santa Clara City Councilmember Anthony Becker has pleaded not guilty for allegedly leaking a confidential civil grand jury report to the San Francisco 49ers last year and lying about it.Becker was indicted last month on a felony perjury charge and a misdemeanor charge for leaking the document, which criticized the council’s cozy relationship with the NFL team, to former 49ers spokesperson Rahul Chandhok and to reporters or editors at the Silicon Valley Voice.The councilmember made his first court appearance late last month but declined to enter into a plea at the time so he could seek outside counsel instead of being represented by public defender Christopher Montoya. Becker, who was late to Wednesday’s hearing, was represented once again by Montoya.The public defender told reporters after his plea that in his experience, “first time impressions of a case are often wrong or incomplete.”Becker faces four years in county jail if convicted on the perjury charge.His next court dat...

Logan Webb outduels Framber Valdez as SF Giants take series from defending World Series champs

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 15:11:10 GMT

HOUSTON — The Giants did not arrive here in high spirits, suffering from stomach bugs, muscle strains and a losing streak, but they will head home feeling much better, not only because most of the nasty virus players and staff picked up in Mexico City had mostly subsided.Behind an excellent outing from Logan Webb and a late-awakening offense, the Giants hung on to win their second straight over the defending World Series champions, 4-2, and earned their third series win of the season.The Astros, who had not been shut out until this series, were held without a run for 17 consecutive innings, until Alex Bregman took Webb deep in the eighth inning, ending the Giants’ bid for a second consecutive shutout.Webb needed 46 pitches to make it through the first two innings, mostly due to Mitch Haniger muffing a pop fly in left field and LaMonte Wade Jr. letting a ground ball under his glove, but he used the exact same amount as he cruised through the next five innings.Outdueling Astros ...
